I do understand that in London a lot of hospitals do have helipads
I think you misunderstood my comment. Only 3 hopsitals in the whole of London have helipads - all MTCs, then a fourth MTC doesn't have a helipad. No other hospitals actually have a helipad on site but this doesn't take into account local areas HEMS will land in and then convey the patient the remaining short distance by road. 27 hospitals in total, only 3 helipads.
I like some of the ideas in here. Certainly work on what expansions are available or needed would be nice as they are a direct copy from the US game, and even those are a copy themselves so not every department is used.
If helipads were to be added, it would be very expensive to retrofit hospitals with them. 24 of my hospitals have helipads whereas 25 don't (8 of those are within Greater London). I've been doing some work recently to work out which hospitals have helipads. In the following areas I've listed the percentage of hospitals that have helipads, regardless of major trauma status. SECAmb (70%), EEAS (47%), SWAS (66%), LAS (11%). London is the outlier as it's so densely populated and built up that it doesn't have a need for helipads as there are so many hospitals in close proximity and even one of the MTCs there lacks one - and that's not the only MTC in the country that doesn't have a helipad.
Some hopsitals provide specialist services without the need or capacity to be a MTC so they may be better units to fly a critical patient to rather than straight to an MTC that could be even further away.
As for the MTC idea in game, it has been planned and put forward and we were expecting it to have been released already but as you can see this is not the case. They would have the capability to have extra beds from what normal hospitals in game have. On that topic, the clinic could do with a rename to Urgent Treatment Centre but this is not a priority and may be able to be done in a hospital update in the future.
With regards to the trauma unit being a specific hospital building in game, this is unnecessary as, according to sources on the NHS website, the vast majority of hospitals have a major trauma department. Obviously this doesn't make them a major trauma centre as there are further criteria they need to meet but they can still deal with most common injuries.
Ambulance stacking at hospitals is something that was requested a long time ago. It's 'on the list' but I don't know how easy implementation is with the current transport system but really we need the better variation in hospitals first before we start stacking - and a different approach to how patients are released rather than one an hour. In my opinion, releasing a patient after 1 hour of being in the emergency department would be better rather than simply one person on the hour, every hour. Keep in mind that these patients aren't necessarily being discharged, they are being admitted onto other wards for further care.
Please include an actual link to your UK alliance in the main body of this topic.
Moved to the US forum, but please include more about your alliance, who you're looking for and a link to your alliance page.
This thread has now been closed - please use the new thread; **New Monday Mission Suggestions**
Name/Type of Mission: Broken/fractured limb
Units Required: 1x ambulance
POI Required (Use “none” if not needed): None
Patients: 1
Prisoners: N/A
Credit Reward: N/A
I have seen Cat 3 concerns for welfare before in these instances, especially if they're still on the right side of the railings. It definitely wouldn't be C1 as there's not necessarily immediate risk to life. RPU is required as if this happens on a bridge over a fast road, they should attend to stop the traffic going under the bridge and create a sterile area.
There's no timeline for implementation yet. The idea is there however we have some other updates lined up prior to airports being released.
Level 1 command training is specifically for command vehicles. Fire officers are level 2, 3 or 4 (so levels above the level 1 command). Most counties will run those levels in their own vehicles rather than on pumps, and can either be from stations or from home. We want to have the three levels off fire officers in the future. We also like the idea of hazmat officers amongst others. Hopefully we'll see these in the future.
If it's any use, have a look at these links;
Have you tried searching on What Do They Know? I expect someone will have asked the question already.
somewhere i saw before a version with a POD full of IBC containers. Is that another version of this?
thanks.
I don't know what's inside one of these pods so it might have them. The LFB bulk foam unit has the containers visible on the back.
Can sy help me with some photo how should look a BFU POD?
cheers
There's an example of one demounted here;
Going into 2022, we've decided to clean up the Alliance Recruitment board. Please refer to the following rules regarding this board, which refers at this time to the UK game only. As always, the main forum rules always apply.
One thread per alliance
Alliance admins are able to create one thread to advertise their alliance. Any updates can be put into that single thread and can be updated regularly, however do not spam the thread with multiple posts a week. Try to limit it to one post every one or two weeks.
Gameplay rules
Please include any alliance rules within your post. This includes rules such a minimum earnings, or gameplay rules like having a realistic setup. If your alliance has dedicated areas per member, include any available areas in the first or second post and update it regularly with a date for when it was updated.
Links
Always include a link to your alliance within your post. This allows for potential new members to easily find your alliance to apply. The link should start with https://www.missionchief.co.uk/alliances/ followed by a number, not https://www.missionchief.co.uk/verband/
Brevity
Please keep your thread brief, but still informative. Threads should be well structured with no large blocks of unsightly text.
Looking for alliances
If you are looking for an alliance and can't find what you're looking for, you are welcome to post a thread but please outline your requirements and what you are looking for.
Thread archiving
Please update your threads at least once every six months so potential members know that you're active and still looking to expand. If the thread is inactive after six months, it may be archived. For those who made threads in search of an alliance, if there's no update on your thread within three months it will be archived.
So every holiday should we feel the need to no longer ask questions or suggest ideas?
What's not needed is bombardment as soon as one update is dropped, and on the thread of said very recent new update. We know police require an update, we're aware and are trying to get one as soon as we can.
People shouldn't feel the need to give them holidays on suggestions. The guy was trying to give his ideas and ask questions and in no way invalidated the update we received.
We all deserve a christmas break, don't we? Especially the developers who have worked very hard to get this update pushed out before the holidays. The next update will be announced as and when it's ready.
Some beacons are red, some are white, but they are never orange. I don't know the callsigns but I found a map from a few years ago (pre-Bristow contract) with locations.
Lee-on-Solent - HMCG (S92)
Portland - HMCG (S92)
Stornaway - HMCG (S92)
Sumburgh - HMCG (S92)
Culdrose - RN (SK)
Prestwick - RN (SK)
Lossiemouth - RAF (SK)
Valley - RAF (SK)
Boulmer - RAF (SK)
Leconfield - RAF (SK)
Wattisham - RAF (SK)
Chivenor - RAF (SK)
I hope this helps at least a little bit
We would like to see different levels, from 2 to 4, eventually. It's just an idea at this stage however.
Thank u. I did look all the way through could not see one in red. I do Like the H one but would be better in red and white. Any chance u could do that.
If not thank u

I made hospital icons a while ago and thought I would share them here for those who would find a use for them.
Unfortunately due to changes on the forums they don't show as images but you can download them from Imgur, or I can reupload them if that does not work.
